1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- providing, for display, a scanned document via a client device of a current user;
identifying a first location corresponding to where a first previous user entered information via a first form field on a first copy of the scanned document and a second location corresponding to where a second previous user entered additional information via a second form field on a second copy of the scanned document;
identifying a first form field data type, from a set of form field data types comprising a text field data type, a check field data type, and an attachment field data type, corresponding to the information entered via the first form field at the first location on the first copy of the scanned document by the first previous user and a second form field data type, from the set of form field data types, corresponding to the additional information entered via the second form field at the second location on the second copy of the scanned document by the second previous user;
based on a determination that the first form field data type and the second form field data type correspond to the same form field data type and a determination that the first location and the second location overlap by a threshold amount, generating an interactive form field corresponding to the same form field data type for the scanned document;
providing, for display, the interactive form field for the scanned document via the client device of the current user;
identifying one or more interactions with the interactive form field for the scanned document by the current user via the client device of the current user; and
based on the one or more interactions with the interactive form field for the scanned document by the current user, determining an additional form field data type for utilization in generating an additional interactive form field for a future user.

Abstract
A computer implemented method and apparatus for detecting, validating, and correlating form-fields in a scanned document. The method comprises displaying a plurality of interactive form-fields associated with a scanned document, wherein each interactive form-field in the plurality of form-fields is defined by a location in the document where one or more previous users entered information on the scanned document, and a data type for the entered information.

9. A system for detecting, validating, and correlating form-fields in scanned documents comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to; provide, for display, a scanned document via a client device of a current user; identify a first location of a first form field corresponding to where a first previous user entered information on a first copy of the scanned document and a second location of a second form field corresponding to where a second previous user entered additional information on a second copy of the scanned document; and identify a first form field data type, from a set of form field data types comprising a text field data type, a check field data type, and an attachment field data type, corresponding to the information entered via the first form field at the first location on the first copy of the scanned document by the first previous user and a second form field data type, from the set of form field data types, corresponding to the additional information entered via the second form field at the second location on the second copy of the scanned document by the second previous user; based on a determination that the first form field data type and the second form field data type correspond to the same form field data type and a determination that the first location and the second location overlap by a threshold amount, generate an interactive form field corresponding to the same form field data type for the scanned document; and provide, for display, the interactive form field for the scanned document via the client device of the current user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer system to:
-
provide, for display, a scanned document via a client device of a current user; identify a first location corresponding to where a first previous user entered information via a first form field on a first copy of the scanned document and a second location corresponding to where a second previous user entered additional information via second form field on a second copy of the scanned document; and identify a first form field data type, from a set of form field data types comprising a text field data type, a check field data type, and an attachment field data type, corresponding to the information entered via the first form field at the first location on the first copy of the scanned document by the first previous user and a second form field data type, from the set of form field data types, corresponding to the additional information entered via the second form field at the second location on the second copy of the scanned document by the second previous user; based on a determination that the first form field data type and the second form field data type correspond to the same form field data type and a determination that the first location and the second location overlap by a threshold amount, generate an interactive form field corresponding to the same form field data type for the scanned document; provide, for display, the interactive form field for the scanned document via the client device of the current user; identify one or more interactions with the scanned document by the current user via the client device of the current user; and based on the one or more interactions with the scanned document by the current user, determine an additional form field data type for the scanned document for utilization in generating an additional interactive form field for a future user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
